Hey! I have a Danby Silhouette DPAC12030 that isn't draining into the reserve.. water goes to a spout in the back of unit that at this time does not have a hose attached to it. How would I switch it back to emptying into that little reserve container?
SOURCE: Air conditioner seems to have a programming short
of course you tried pulling power plug for 30 minutes...?
SOURCE: We have 2 Danby air
You can purchase similar hoses at most home improvement center. Take a section of the old hose with you to get the right diameter and use the existing fittings to attach them to the unint and the window exhaust. What you may find is a better quality hose/duct, than what came with the unit. You may have to buy more than you need in length, but then you'll have some left over, if you ever have to replace it again.
Hope this helped. Good luck.

Generally, it is a clog from airborne dust and lint, that's picked up by the unit while in operation.
Clearing the tubing usually solves the problem. You can use an appropriately sized 18" long plastic Zip Tie or a long pipe cleaner, But, NO wire coat hangers. Be sure the unit is OFF & unplugged before attempting any cleaning. When you remove the buckets, look for either a drain hole or a drain tube in the top of the bucket cavities. Carefully insert the Zip Tie or Pipe Cleaner into the hole or tube and continue to insert it, until you reach a bend in the tubing. Gingerly, work it past this bend, unit it bottoms out or you run out of Usable Zip Tie. The slowly remove it while rotating (twisting) it. This will dislodge any clogs As you reach the inserted tip, be prepared, as some water may follow.
I hope this helps you and thanks for choosing FixYa..
